A bit of a race into a strong headwind down from Bells to the highway, cross to West Swan road and on to Grant's. I fell to the rear with low energy, having run out of food towards the end of the hike. We stopped to tie the empty water cans to Mark and Tim's packs while Janet and Grant continued to make some ground ahead. Back to Grant's finally for a cold drink and chicken sandwich thanks to Janet. Made it back at 2:19am, nice and close to our 2am planned finish. Another good session completed, probably the last and only big one.

Out on Grant and Pete's sevvy's with canadian paddles again. Me with Grant in front, and Tim and Janet. I noticed a definite improvement for this session. Starting to feel more comfortable and in control. In fact it's easier to control, steer and keep to a bearing than using the canadian paddles than a double bladed paddle (perhaps a secret weapon to bring to the Boundless race).

Explored Bennet Brook, nearly lost my sunnies in some murkey water. We went as far as we could before the tree fall became too much. Pity, as I see it finishes at a lake ahead and we got about halfway through.
